I have been bullied ever since I started year 7 (grade 6). I had a friend who was really nice and cool, but then he got in massive trouble, and I already had a bad year, so I wanted to start fresh. With him being in trouble wasn’t helping, so I told him I don’t want to be friends with you anymore. Then people called me names like gay and loner and low-life. People wanted me to die and I used to cry in the toilets for 10 minutes and be late for lessons just because of them. My grades were falling and if I told an adult it would get worse. My good friend was sticking up for me and he ended up getting beaten up. I had enough and I really wanted to rut them. But I know I would get in big trouble there and at home with my parents. Now I am in year 8 (7th grade) and things are better but I still get the name-calling. I just ignore it like its nothing because I don’t care! Don’t make people try to weaken you, you know that they’re the ones who will fail not you! Now I am getting better grades and I have two great friends, the best I could have. I don’t care if I am unpopular or a loser, at least I try to get on with life. And not once I thought about self-harm or suicide, because I pushed myself.
